Pros

The location of the company to my house was close by.

Cons

- Low Salary. - Too much Politics. - No Growth Opportunities. - Groupism and Favouritism. - Managers have no vision or no set growth path. - Many good employees are taken advantage of, and often people who do not work hard survive due to personal connections to higher management. - False promises and fake reasons will be provided to hinder growth. - Salaries do not match industry standards often pay extremely low to current market standards. - Micromanagement and unnecessary false accusations would happen regularly due to gossip. - HR will be aligned to deceive the employees based on manager or higher management decisions, so no point approaching them. - Employee satisfaction is never considered, nor are any steps taken to address them.

Pros

They were great, ten out of ten recommend.

Cons

They changed the policy on desks to eat there! But they do have lunch place in the back and a video game area. It probably changed since Covid!
